Aladdin is an upcoming American musical romantic fantasy adventure film directed by Guy Ritchie, from the screenplay co-written with John August and Vanessa Taylor, and produced by Walt Disney Pictures. It is a live-action adaptation of Disney’s 1992 animated film of the same name, which is in turn based on the Arabic folktale of the same name from One Thousand and One Nights and the French interpretation by Antoine Galland. The film stars Mena Massoud as the title character alongside Will Smith, Naomi Scott, Marwan Kenzari, Navid Negahban, Nasim Pedrad, Billy Magnussen, and Numan Acar.
Disney has given us the first look at Will Smith as Genie from the upcoming live adaptation of Aladdin.
With a bald head and a top knot, Will Smith’s Genie is dressed in the trademark bejeweled outfit and has been pictured alongside Jack Ryan star Mena Massoud as the tubular street urchin turned prince, and British actress Naomi Scott.
